Saints celebrated on the 19th of August
SAINT JULIUS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Julius. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Rome, Saint Julius, senator and martyr, who was delivered up to the judge Vitellius, and by him thrown into prison. By order of the emperor Commodus, he was beaten with rods until be expired. His body was buried in the cemetery of Calepodius on the Aurelian road."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Julius may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
